The votes are in from this week’s Watchers Council and the winner in the Council category is “Directions on Iraq: A Blogging Colloquium (Updated)” by The Glittering Eye. Finishing second was Joshuapundit for “Ex-president and Jew Hater for Sale—Jimmy Carter’s Dirty Little Secret.”
Winning in the non Council category was The Fourth Rail for “The ROC.”
Long time Council member and dear blogging comrade Dymphna from Gates of Vienna is going to be spending less time blogging in the future. Hence, she has decided to step down from the Council. If you’re interested in serving, please go here and follow the steps outlined.
Dymphna and her partner at Gates of Vienna the Baron are two of the best minds on the internet. And Dymphna is one of the finest writers it has been my pleasure to read. Clarity and reason were the hallmarks of her articles. And her passion is always on display. She pulls no punches and her only enemy is shallow thinking.
A lady. A scholar. A joy. She will be missed.

What a moving encomium! I am going to print it out and put it on the refrigerator and make my relatives read it when they say something impertinent about my intellectual prowess.
Everybody ought to get a compliment like this – while they’re still alive, I mean.
Fondly in return…
